We continue to be the most generous Nation on the Earth as far as providing food aid.

I thank the distinguished gentleman from Kentucky for his leadership on the issue. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of S.J. Res. 24 and to echo the sentiments of my colleagues. There is no question that we are all searching for a…

in September, we learned shocking news that the U.S. Secret Service--armed agents of the Executive--violated the law to intimidate a congressman from doing his constitutional duty. Forty-five Secret Service employees accessed the personal…
